The Celts lived during the Iron Age around 750 years before Jesus, in central and northen Europe. The word Celt, comes form the Greek word "Keltoi", that means barbarians. There were 3 main Celtic groups: Gauls, Britons and Gaels. They lived in villages scattered all around Europe. Their houses were round with no windows, but with a hole in the roof 'cause the Celts would light a fire in the middle of the roundhouse for cooking, and this caused a lot of smoke. They believed in many gods and goddesses over 400, there were Celtic priest, called Druids, that were the link between the supernatural world and the human one. The Celts cut off the heads of their ancestors and they nailed the heads over the door of their huts 'cause they believed that the soul was inside the brain. They believed also that the human soul had an afterife so they buried peolpe with many things they would need in the afterlife.
